He does have a plaintive look on his face that makes the title just perfect. Excellent details in the white and very fine colors and cropping.

Excellent capture of this magnificent animal. She really does have a pleading look as though she is trying to ask for something. Great composition , focus and light.

This is an in your face beauty SG. Nicely framed and the green depth of field frames his incredible face as well all that little tilt of his head as if to say he is curious about your presence

Great close up capture of this cuddly, bubbly being!
I always like their eye optical illusion or extension as if he's been beaten black & blue.
Nice bokeh effect.
Verdant backdrop with some patches of the clear blue sky adding a light breezy feeling to the subject as opposed to being all dark green...
Cute cut portion of her fave diet--the variegated bamboo.
Excellent lighting, focusing & framing.
Thanks for sharing.

Love the title of this photograph. His eyes seem to be saying that. Very well focused. Love the clarity in the eyes and the face area. Nice exposure, good DOF. Very nice portrait shot. Thanks for sharing!

Like the title. He really does look fed up or is it just the way they are. Like the stick of bamoo showing from the side. Like that you can also see his whiskers

Comment from Sange


The eyes and tilt of his head draw us in. A sweet capture with nice handling of the white and black. There is only a touch of bright white on the left of his face, but this is such a sweet emotive capture of a Panda.
Great shot Fred!👏👏😉

Another neat animal that is normally sleeping in zoos during the day. Looks like Huan Huan is working on a bamboo shoot and you caught her attention. She's probably better off in the zoo than back in China as their habitat there is shrinking. Good photo of her and thanks for sharing Huan Huan.
